Asbestos & Air Sampling
Help prevent respiratory illnesses and allergenic reactions with mold testing. If mold is found to be elevated let us conduct removal (remediation). We provide you with services that identify and eliminate mold growth from your property, while identifying the cause(s) to assist in preventing mold from reappearing and increase the facility’s longevity. Molds can be found almost anywhere in your home or business. They can grow on virtually any organic substance as long as moisture and oxygen are present. It is impossible to eliminate all mold and its spores in an indoor environment.
Mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture indoors, prompt drying of building material (within 24-48 Hrs,), and routine facility maintenance.

Lead Consulting & Project Oversite
Lead is most harmful to children six-years-old or younger because children often put their hands and other objects in to their mouth which may have lead dust on them. Health effects of lead in children can include behavioral and learning problems (hyperactivity), slowed growth, hearing problems, headaches and damage to the brain and central nervous system. Adults exposed to lead can suffer from reproductive problems, high blood pressure, digestive disorders, muscle and joint pain, memory and concentration problems, and nerve disorders.
Maine also requires individuals / companies working in a facility with a child either with elevated blood lead or poisoning be EPA accredited (training) and Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) licensed.
